In March 2007, the A380 makes its first visit to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport for route proving exercises. The aircraft is greeted on arrival by two custom-built fire and rescue trucks from the New York City Fire Department’s Rescue Company 1. Both of these vehicles were donated by Airbus in 2002 as part of its efforts to help New York's emergency teams recover from devastating September 11 losses.
